Full service = new car?
March 31, 2009, added by Shane
Mystic Dave the technology director oversaw the full service of Shane’s car. It was sounding ‘in need’ so in addition the oil filter and oil, the plugs were replaced with uprated NGK Platinum items. The air filter and micro filter were replaced. Finally the fuel filter was replaced. The latter due to potential bits that may have entered the fuel system from the bodyshop work completed earlier in the year.
It’s like a new car now. Exhaust and engine sound…

The weather was interesting as it started out with lots of rain and then ended up bright and grippy! Interestingly, whilst it was grippy, I managed to spin off the track and ding my car. The only other problem we encountered was some minor slippage from…
Brake system

The front discs on my car were badly worn. They were rusted badly and had large ridges around the outside. To ensure that the car was as safe as possible – and that I had the latest braking point as possible on the track – I ordered new set.
Grant’s car has racing pads, Goodridge braided hoses and Dot 5.1 fluid. The performance I noticed in his car last year at Le Mans was superb; the lack of brake fade…
